The next version is Creative Suite 3.3, which is coming out with Acrobat 9. As usual, the price for Acrobat 9 is substantially more in Europe than is the USA—the cost of air-freighting all those megabytes must be the reason!

I rather thought it was about then, so we can perhaps expect CS4 this autumn. That suits me just fine!
I found out on Friday that saving an InDesign CS3 document as an INX (so I can get at it in CS2) isn't always reliable - especially where transparency is concerned

Adobe is probably right, but I'm thinking seriously about where my next Adobe purchase is made: I've a daughter living in Toronto. However, if Creative Suite 3.3—which is not a free upgrade—is now the current version, who will think of buying it, if CS 4 is released any time soon?

LOL! I expect Adobe will say it's what the market will stand.
Welcome to "rip-off Britain."

Apparently, Adobe says that the market in the UK is so small, that each unit sold must support a much higher proportion of basic overhead costs. It is true in business, that a point is reached wherein productivity can double without increased overhead, as there is a minimum/maximum range of capacity for initial setups.

If they say that about the UK, imagine what we have to pay down here!

Apple Computer does the same. I recently priced a 1Tb Time Capsule, and the US price was USD499, while the Australian price was AUD699. Considering the two currencies are almost at parity, this is a huge difference.
